what can i do next...

The first message is coming because it is seeing the text as separate words and ignoring the quotes. So it see the text as "my" and then thinks first is a new image. Sorry I do not know what to tell you. I have heard this happen before on windows PHP, but do not know how to fix it. You could try to escape the single quotes or escape double quotes. Probably the latter. Windows may not like single quotes.
